Fluidr / The Most Beautiful & Elusive Feline! by Wild Pixel Safaris

Distinguished by its exceptionally beautiful, black-spotted coat, the Leopard (Panthera pardus) is also recognised for its supreme stealth and its remarkable versatility. Despite being the smallest of the ‘big cats’, the leopard is the most widespread of all wild cat species, and is well known for the variety of prey it takes, as well as its ability to occupy a range of habitats, from deserts and mountains to jungles and swamps.

Having finished eating her breakfast up an acacia tree, this magnificent female Leopard finally climbed down and proceeded to sweep the entire area burying all evidence of his prized unfinished meal which was still stacked up a tree for later. All the blood and other bits and pieces were buried within a few minutes so that any passing by scavenger doesn't pick up her scent.

Photographed during a photography safari on an early morning game drive during a in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
